HAHA!!!!

I have one of those "seven day" pill boxes, worked very well but then I got too lazy to fill it up each week. I tried different days of the week "fill time" but couldn't get anything I could stick with. I think there are still some pills in it

And I HAVE little woven baskets on my dresser! (Their plastic with a "woven" look) will all my meds. I use them mostly though to separate the pills I take everyday from the pills I take only when needed... more to keep them organized than to remember.

And the problem with all the other things is the same I have with my original post... I'll move them all into the "taken" spot but never can get myself to "reset" them constently in the evening or whenever.

I normally don't forget which groups to take, and I have a morning group and an evening group, and I have no problem with that... its just when I "break ritual" and take the Wellbutrin before the morning group, I worry about taking them again when I take my morning group regularly.

I should clarify that I don't have a problem with this. Sometimes I have trouble staying on schedule when I don't feel well, but not forgetfullness. And I've NEVER had a problem with the Wellbutrin in the morning, I'm just worried that someday I MIGHT have a problem and that's why I started flipping the bottles. I have to say though when I wash my hair in the morning, on the repeat (lather, rinse, repeat) I VERY OFTEN lose track, I am sure that some days I shampoo three times. I am sure that is just because it is so routine and automatic that I am on autopilot. But it is discouraging to think that I can't count up to two . Recently I've given in to only doing it once. I'm saving money on shampoo.

I do do something to separate my morning pills and night pills though, just to make the bottles easier to find without having to read the labels... the bottles are all "child proof" but you can flip the cap and screw it on upside down (it has threads on both sides) so that you can skip the childproofing if you want to/need to. When the cap is flipped it is VERY noticable, the bottle looks completely different. So I've flipped the caps on all my morning meds, so when the bottles get all jumbled I can grab the right ones easily. This worked fine until my doc gave me a new subscription for something to take once morning and once night... poop. I just struggle to remember that one each day
